OH FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!! (in Off-topic)

xD Due to recent events I'm fairly frustrated, so this is going to be complicated to keep PG, but I'm sure I can manage.
But to the subject at hand; STOP ARGUING OVER DUMB STUFF!!!!!!! That's all I ever see anymore on the home page. Ranger arguing with these guys and those guys and these guys arguing with these guys and those other guys (confused?). You know a trend that causes these arguments? An opinion. One freaking opinion is all it takes apparently. Everyone has them, whether or not we agree with it or disagree with it, everyone has one. And regardless as to WHAT we say there is no possible way to change someone's opinion. So when someone says something about "Hey, I don't like -this skill-". Okay... They don't like that skill. But THIS is ALWAYS WHAT SEEMS TO HAPPEN;
-I don't like this skill, its stupid
-But this skill is good for this and that
-But its still stupid because its over powered
-But its good for that and this
(carry on for like what was it... 150 pages on one of these forum posts?)
You know what the best bet is at this point? This works best in a spinny chair, but turn in a 180 degree direction until your looking away from the computer, stand up, slowly walk away and into oncoming traffic >:). Because that's pretty much the only way you're going to end the arguement over whatever the hell you guys are currently arguing about (I think its something about whether or not AoF is overpowered. Or maybe its evasion again? I stopped reading the page after I posted my one response. But regretfully I read one of those other forums for about 10 seconds). As I said before; An opinion is an opinion. EVERYONE HAS ONE. Arguing about it is not going to change the opinion. Even if its a carry on bitch-fest about whether or not a skills is being changed. If it hasn't changed yet then its not ready to be changed.
So just take a deep breath, close the thread, and walk away.

Oh yea... Don't expect a response from me. Honestly I could care less about your (the reader's) opinion at this point.

Well maybe they don't care about your opinion either. This seems like a classic case of the pot calling the kettle black. Welcome to the internet where everyone is free to voice their opinion.
Threads have titles for a reason and if you open it to find that you don't like what is being said. Turn you chair 180 degrees, stand up, and walk out of the room! Or simply close the thread. No one is forcing you to read the arguments (not arguements!!!).

Well we try to Evade the topic as it has been rather sore. The amount of evasion that has been shown has people arguing, but in the end its the evasive way for the community to have a full blow conversation. But yes when people don't learn that it shouldn't be blown outta proportion and evade the name calling then it has gotten outta hand.

I agree wholeheartedly. Evasion is overpowered FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!

Then I realized you were my ex-gf.

What I should've said is..
You cannot change these people's opinions.. they think evasion is overpowered.. and it might be the AoF.. or maybe it's just Ranger who is overpowered.. who knows? I do know that you wont change these people's opinions, but this thread is just waiting to be swarmed by 'em!
a well thought out post, expressing ones opinion and backed by facts will often elicit a similar response. one resorting to sarcasm, hyperbole, melodrama, etc. will often elicit a stronger response. this is why people tend to use them. if they are used constantly however, they lose their power to accentuate a point and often just serve to annoy.
the post below this will DERAIL so far away from the original topic. FLAME that person who reply this thread after me.

" Welcome to the internet where everyone is free to voice their opinion."
Um JarL, welcome to the real world where people are also free to read stuff they know is gonna bother them and then tell us about it in an open forum. You could have easily read Nic's rant and not posted in this thread but well, there you are. :)
But I guess that's just the pot calling the kettle a milkbone. or something like that.
Nic just wants everyone to do a little less arguemizing and a lot more hugging. Sheesh nic, what the bejezus were you thinking?????
I will not hug a shouter.
QBOddBird
August 12 2008 10:20 AM EDT
But would you hug me?
No. We've been over this. You have the grabby hands.
j'bob
August 12 2008 10:23 AM EDT
Come on now Bast, lets at least be honest with each other. You're not going to hug Nic because he misspelled "arguments", not because he's a shouter.
/me hugs Bast and passes the hug along to Nic ;)
j'bob
August 12 2008 10:24 AM EDT
Grabby hands? Is THAT what that sensation is when I shake the ooty, the grabby hands?
Let's be honest? You can't "pass" a hug -- you just wanted another excuse to squeeze Nic yourself.
j'bob
August 12 2008 10:48 AM EDT
Well, as long as we're being honest... I can hug Nic at anytime, no excuse needed... ;)

Due to recent events I'm fairly excited, so this is going to be complicated to keep PG, but I'm sure I can manage.
But to the subject at hand; STOP ARGUING OVER OB'S BOOTY!! That's all I ever see anymore on the home page. Ranger arguing with these girls and those boys and these boys arguing with these girls and those other boys (confused?). You know a trend that causes these arguments? An opinion. One sexy opinion is all it takes apparently. Everyone has them, whether or not we agree with it or disagree with it, everyone has one. And regardless as to WHAT we say, there is no possible way to change someone's sexy opinion. So when someone says something about "Hey, OB's booty is -quite- pleasant to the eye". Okay... They think OB's booty is pleasant to look at. But THIS is ALWAYS WHAT SEEMS TO HAPPEN:
- OB's booty shaking skill is godly
- But OB's booty shaking skill is good for this and that and can cure cancer
- However it's scary because it's overpowered
- But then again, it's the answer to world hunger
(carry on for like what was it...150 pages on one of these forum posts?)
You know what the best best is at this point? This works best in a spinny chair, but turn in a 180 degree direction until you're looking away from the computer, stand up, and join OB for booty shaking fun. Because that's pretty much the only way you're going to end the argument over whatever you guys are currently arguing about (I think it's something about whether OB's booty shaking is overpowered. Or maybe it's OB's booty being so evasive? I stopped reading the page after I posted my one response. But regrefully I read one of those other forums for about 10 seconds). As I said before; A sexy opinion is a sexy opinion. EVERYONE HAS ONE. Arguing about it is not going to change the sexy opinion.
So just take a deep breath, close the thread, and compliment OB's booty.

"But to the subject at hand; STOP ARGUING OVER DUMB STUFF!!!!!!!"
I'd say game balance is anything but "dumb stuff."
"You know a trend that causes these arguments? An opinion."
An opinion backed by numbers and facts. And even many of the people taking advantage of this currently overpowered strategy seem to have an -opinion- that backs the people complaining about it.
"-I don't like this skill, its stupid
-But this skill is good for this and that
-But its still stupid because its over powered
-But its good for that and this"
Except replace lines two and four with "but, but USD!"
"stand up, slowly walk away and into oncoming traffic "
Take your own advice, please.
Guess what, this is a forum about a single game. It's called Carnage Blender. It takes only a few brain cells to produce the logic necessary to figure out that, yes, discussions (and therefore arguments, this is the Internet) about the features, design, and balance of said game will ensue. Get over it already, or stop reading the CARNAGE BLENDER forum, which is, you know, a discussion forum about CARNAGE BLENDER!
"Honestly I could care less about your (the reader's) opinion at this point."
Likewise.

Ha!
There are many ways to encourage people to get along and stop complaining. Shouting isn't one of them.
I don't get annoyed about many things, but oddly enough this really irritates me. A seemly good hearted attempt to calm things down turning itself into a hostile rant.
You can't fight bitching with bitching. I am a bit disappointed. Oh and mind the caps lock.

I would like to express an OPINION!!
I don't know why people get so emotional about the arguments actually, but it seems to happen. I try to stick to numbers rather than going back and forth needlessly when it degrades to that.
Also, Coca Cola.
Thread hijacking at its finest! Thanks to all of you, I now have to waste my precious time getting us all back on track. If you'll recall we were on OB's hands, good-touch/bad-touch, and J'Bob's overweening interest in hugging Nic, who shouts.
If you all want to do coke v. soda v. pop, do it in Nic's _other_ thread, please.
QBOddBird
August 13 2008 1:22 AM EDT
Very nice, Bast. I caught that little detail.
You mentioned that there was a good touch to being in OB's hands.
...I knew you'd come around someday.

"stand up, slowly walk away and into oncoming traffic "

;P At the rate things have been going as of late, chances are I will one of these days.
Cube
August 13 2008 1:51 AM EDT
My mistake, accept my apologies. Have a coke for free.
1. I propose OB's hands are always good touch.
2. I also propose that Jbob hug Nic soon so he stops shouting.
Any disagree? I doubt you could; the evidence seems pretty solid to me.

Left once, came back.
Leave twice, less likely I'll come back ;P
